GARMENT WITH SEMIRAGLAN SLEEVE Filed April 11, 1935 INVENTOR RALPHE.BERMAN Patented Mar. 31, 1936 UNETED STATES PATENT OFFIQE 3 Claims.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a garment witha semiraglan sleeve.

The invention has for an object the .design and construction of agarment which has all the comfort of a raglan sleeve garment and theappearance of regular seamed shoulders with a substantially straightedge or set-in sleeves.

It is known that a garment with reglan sleeves has narrow slopingshoulders but compensates in greater freedom of motion of the shouldersand arms, elaborating on the two distinct types of shoulders as cut inclothing generally, we have first, what is termed the regular shoulderwith the shoulder section being integral with the front and back ofgarment, and the sleeve sewed or set in eircumferentiall'y into thearmhole and from the front is substantially straight. Second, we havewhat is termed a raglan shoulder where the front and back parts ofgarments are dissected on a line running approximately from the bottomof armhole, front and back, to the point of shoulder at the neck.

It is an object of this invention to design and construct a garment asmentioned which has its parts so arranged and formed that the garment isof set-in sleeve construction in the front and is of raglan sleeveconstruction in the back.

A still further object of the invention is the constructiori of materialforming the front of the garment so as to have a neck edge continuinginto a shoulder seam edge continuing into an edge for one-half of aset-in sleeve, and as- ,sociated with material in the form of theadjacent rear of the garment having a neck edge continuing into an edgefor one half of a raglan sleeve, and a. sleeve having half of its rearend curved to fit and be stitched together with said edge for one-halfof the set-in sleeve and con- "tin'uing into a rearward extending edgeto fit and be stitched to the said shoulderseam edge, and continuinginto a forward extending edge to fit and be attached to said edge forone half of a raglan sleeve.

Another object of the invention is the construction of a garment asdescribed which is simple and durable and which can be manufactured andsold at a reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 5 is a developed view of the adjacent rear 10' quarter of thegarment.

Fig. 6 is a developed view of one sleeve of the garment.

Fig. '7 is a view similar to Fig. 6 but showing a modified form ofsleeve. =13" Fig. 8 is an other view similar to Fig. 6 but illustratinganother modified form of sleeve.

Fig. 9 is a View of the sleeve shown in Fig. 6 partially sewed togetherwith the front quarter of the garment shown in Fig. 4. 20-

Fig. 10 is an elevational view of the sleeve shown in Fig. 6 partiallysewed together with the rear quarter of the garment illustrated in Fig.5.

The garment, according to this invention is illustrated in the completedform in Figs. l-3 25' inclusive. It is composed of front portions Illhaving their adjacent edges overlapping and detachably connected withbuttons II and having their outer edges secured to the outer edges ofrear portions.l2. inner edges i3 stitched together. The garment has acollar l4 and sleeves l5. From the front, the garment has regular seamedshoulders produced by shoulder seams l6 and from the rear the sleevesare raglan, indicated by reference 25 numeral H.

The front portion to has a. neck edge I 4 to which a portion of thecollar [4 is stitched, and this neck edge continues into a shoulder seamedge l6 which continues into an edge l5 de-' 411 signed and shaped forreceiving one half of a substantially straight or set-in sleeve. Therear portion l2 has a neck edge M to which the collar l4 may beattached, which edge continues into an edge l5 for one half of a raglansleeve. 45

The material of the sleeve I5 is shown developed in Fig. 6. Half of theinner end of the sleeve I5 is formed with a curved edge l5 adapted tofit and be stitched to the edge l5 of half of the set-in sleeve. Theedge I5 continues into a 50 rearward extending edge l5 adapted to fitand be attached to the shoulder seam edge I6 This edge :5 continues intoa forward extending edge It: to fit and be stitched to the said edge l5of the one half of the raglan sleeve.

These rear portions have their 30 In Fig. 9 the sleeve material I5 isshown partially connected with the front portion In. It should be notedthat part of the edge l5 is stitched to part of the edge i5. In sewingthis part of sleeve, the material of the sleeve bends under intosemitubular shape so that the free portion of the edge I 5 may bestitched to the remaining free edge of the edge I The edge 15 of thesleeve material l5 must be stitched to the edge H5 of the front portionIn.

In Fig. the sleeve material I5 is shown secured together with the rearportion l2. More particularly, the edge It: of the sleeve material isstitched to the edge W of the rear portion. The

sleeve is also formed by stitching the opposed edges Hi and I5 together.From the above de- 7 scription it is believed that the construction ofthe garment will be readily understood. p

In Fig. 7 a modified form of sleeve has been disclosed which is formedfrom adjacent pieces I5 and I5. These adjacent pieces have curved edgesI5 and I5 adapted to be secured together soasto give the sleeve a littlefullness at the elb ow. In other respects this sleeve construction is 7identical to the previous described form and the edges thereof may berecognized by the identical reference numerals. v

In Fig. 8 another modified form of sleeve is disclosed which is formedfrom three parts, indicated by reference numerals 25 25 and 25. Theadjacent edges of these parts are shaped so as to enhance the shape ofthe finished sleeve. In other respects the edges of the sleeve areidentical to the edges previously described and similar parts may berecognized by corresponding reference numerals.

The construction of the sleeve forms illustrated in Figs. '7 and 8 maybe more economical than the one piece sleeve previously described andmake it possible to produce more shapeliness in the finished sleeve.

It is to be understood that it is not necessary to construct this sleevein a garment with a collaror in a garment with seams either at the frontor rear of the garment. This sleeve may be'used on garments of alltypes, sizes, and materials,

and the proportions may be changed as olesired.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of myinvention, it is to be understood that I do-not limit myself to theprecise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to allchanges and modifications coming within the scope of the invention asdefined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by United continuing into a substantially straight appear-- ingshoulder seam edge continuing into asu'bstantially semicircular edge forone half of a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve, material inthe form of an adjacent rear portion of the garment and having a neckedge continuing into a shallow convexed curved edge for one half of araglan sleeve, and a sleeve having half of its inner end concavelycurved to fit and be stitched together with said semicircular edge forone half of a substantially straight appearing edge sleeve andcontinuing into a substantially straight appearing edge to fit and beattached to the said shoulder seam edge and continuing into a shallowconcaved curved edge to fit and be attached to said shallow curved edgefor one half of a raglan sleeve,
